I’m sure all eyes and ears of my fellow Torontorians have been following some of the tragic and graphic news of this week. Seems like one bad news right after another.

A poor child clinging onto life… The graphic scene of a police car, pinning a man armed with two knives to a bike rack… And the horrific scene of a man lighting himself on fire.

My husband and I watched the news today as the EMS and firefighters were in the spotlight for their quick and brave responses.

Thank god for that. I know that the media’s purpose was to put a positive spin of such events by showing the selflessness and heroic acts of these people as a way of lifting some of the gloom on our city this week… a way of pumping moral.

I do appreciate the effort but I am still somewhat saddened to hear such events take place this week.

And that little girl in the hospital… *sigh*
